How do you keep an audience on the edge of their seats in a film confined to a single small boat? Leave it to the master of suspense, Alfred Hitchcock.

In Alfred Hitchcock’s Lifeboat, a group of survivors from German U-boat attack finds themselves stranded at sea—along with a suspicious crew member from the sub that destroyed their ship. Tensions mount as alliances shift and a power struggle ensues as the food and water begin to dwindle. How does Hitch pull off his trademark cameo in this one? Starring Tallulah Bankhead, William Bendix, and Walter Slezak; based on a story by John Steinbeck. (97 mins., 4K DCP)
